Qiao Mingjin and her brother drove a bullock cart into the village. As they approached their yard, they vaguely heard Xiao Wan'er crying.
Qiao Mingjin listened carefully and found that her daughter was really crying!
These days, Qiao Mingjin told her two children that they should go to the mountain in the morning to collect firewood and rake loose hair, and then rest at home when they go home for lunch. They would go up the mountain together when she and Mingheng came back.
The two children were very sensible and initially refused. Qiao Mingjin told the two children that they should wait for them to come back while rubbing the straw rope at home after dinner.
Straw ropes are used everywhere in the house these days, and these straw ropes can also be sold for money in the future. After hearing this, the two children no longer stayed on the mountain all day like before.
It's just that everything is fine, why is my daughter crying?
The voice was very loud. If it were at the in-laws' house, my daughter would never dare to cry like this.
Qiao Mingjin was so anxious that she didn't care about the bullock cart. She threw the bullwhip to Mingheng, and she jumped out of the car and ran towards home.
The courtyard door was wide open. As soon as Qiao Mingjin stepped over the threshold with one foot, she called out: "Wan'er? Mingqi?"
"mother……"
When Xiao Wan'er heard Qiao Mingjin's voice, she ran over crying and threw herself on Qiao Mingjin like a gust of wind. Her small body was as small as a pea dice, and she lay between Qiao Mingjin's thighs. She circled her legs with both hands and cried.
Very powerful.
Qiao Mingjin felt heartbroken when she saw her crying and sobbing.
He hurriedly bent down and picked up his daughter. Seeing her face covered with tears and her eyes red, her heart ached with pain.
Since the mother and daughter moved out, Xiao Wan'er no longer follows her everywhere. And now that Ming Qi is with her, she has become increasingly cheerful.
On weekdays, she also plays with some children in the village who are close to others. Just seeing her crying so freely today shows that this child knows that this is her home.
Qiao Mingjin saw Mingqi running over and asked, "What's going on?"
"Donggen robbed Wan'er of pebbles, and also robbed the cakes and candies that my sister bought for Wan'er."
Xiao Wan'er, who was sobbing on Qiao Mingjin's shoulder, cried louder and louder when she heard this. She felt particularly aggrieved when she met her mother. She hugged her mother's neck tightly and her tears fell down. Qiao Mingjin just couldn't help but cry.
I feel wet in my neck.
After listening to what Ming Qi said, he frowned and saw several people standing in his courtyard.
"Third sister-in-law."
Yue Xiaoman walked over and greeted Qiao Mingjin with a sarcastic look on his face. Behind him were Linglong, Donggen and Beishu.
Na Donggen glanced at Qiao Mingjin, lowered his head and hid behind Yue Xiaoman. On the other hand, Linglong and Beishu called her: "Third Aunt", "Third Aunt".
Qiao Mingjin suppressed her emotions, smiled at Linglong and Beishu and asked, "Linglong and Beishu are here too. Are they here to play with our Wan'er?"
The two children saw that she didn't look angry, so they nodded towards her.
That Yue Beishu was only two months older than Wan'er, and because he had been loved by his parents and grandparents since he was born, Mr. Yu was even scared to hold him in his hands. Even when he went to the village and came to the door, he was always loved and hugged.
I hold him, but I still don’t like to let him down to walk. I am always worried that he will get bumped.
Now it seems that Beishu is bigger than Wan'er, but this child can't even walk steadily now, let alone help adults collect firewood like Wan'er.
Linglong, the cousin, is one year older than Wan'er. Although Donggen is the elder brother, because Donggen is the eldest grandson, the Sun family regards him as an eyeball, and develops the child's arrogant temperament.
They all strive to be first, and they love to scoop up good things into their arms.
When the two brothers and sisters stood together, it seemed as if Linglong was the elder sister and Donggen was the younger brother. It was evident that he could snatch Wan'er's pebbles today.
Qiao Mingjin was indifferent to Sun and Yu, but she still liked children in her heart, and the two children were still young, so there was nothing wrong with them. It was just that she was insensitive to Donggen.
Qiao Mingjin asked the two children a few questions, then turned to ask Yue Xiaoman: "What's wrong with Fifth Sister coming today?"
Yue Xiaoman quickly glanced at Qiao Mingjin's face and was relieved to find that Qiao Mingjin didn't look unhappy.
He said hurriedly: "There's nothing wrong. I just came to see my sister-in-law and Wan'er. I'll bring some vegetables over by the way."
While she was talking, Qiao Mingjin had already walked to the courtyard with her.
After hearing what Yue Xiaoman said, Qiao Mingjin glanced at Mingqi, and Mingqi said, "Sister Xiaoman has been here for a while and brought a basket of vegetables. I put them all in the kitchen."
Qiao Mingjin was a little surprised when he heard this.
It had been several days since her mother and daughter had moved out. This was the first time that someone from the Yue family, other than Yue Zhongyao, came to see the mother and daughter. They even brought vegetables.
Didn’t Mrs. Wu say that if she could move out, she shouldn’t ask Yue Zhongyao for the cost of raising her children? Doesn’t this also allow Yue Xiaoman to pull out vegetables and deliver them to her?
Yue Xiaoman looked at Qiao Mingjin's disbelieving expression, his face burned, and he lowered his head and whispered: "I have been coming to see my sister-in-law for a long time, but I have been busy at home. This morning, my mother went to my grandma's house."
Qiao Mingjin finally understood and smiled.
He patted her daughter who was lying on her shoulder and had stopped crying and was only sobbing quietly, and whispered in her ear: "Wan'er went to find her uncle. Uncle brought back delicious food for Wan'er. Wan'er quickly went and hid it.
, I won’t give it to Brother Donggen.”
When Xiao Wan'er heard this, she wiped her tears with the back of her little hand, and as soon as Qiao Mingjin put her down, she ran out the door.
Qiao Mingjin took Yue Xiaoman around the yard and talked to her.
"Sister-in-law, can you help sell eggs?"
Qiao Mingjin glanced at her and nodded: "Yes, these days, several families in the village have brought eggs and asked me to help sell them. I sold them for one penny more than the two eggs, but every ten eggs
I will pay an extra two cents to the villagers. The rest will be my losses and hard-earned money on the road."
After hearing this, Yue Xiaoman nodded repeatedly and said, "That's right. It takes us several hours to get to the city. Not every egg transported to the city is complete."
After a pause, he then said, "I wonder if my sister-in-law can also help our family sell the eggs?"
Qiao Mingjin was a little surprised, looked at her and said, "Wouldn't it be better to wait until your third brother comes back and then let your third brother take it to the city and sell it? You can get more money from it."
After hearing this, Yue Xiaoman said: "Mom actually said that she would wait for the third brother to come back before selling it, but dad said that the third brother only comes back once every ten days. Every time when the third brother leaves, if he doesn't meet the bullock cart driver, he will still sell it.
I walked into the city, and I didn’t want Third Brother to have to work hard. Besides, there are more than a dozen chickens at home, and the eggs are laid every day. I have accumulated dozens of eggs in a few days, and I am afraid they will spoil if they are kept for a long time."
Qiao Mingjin was speechless after hearing this.
In fact, she didn't want to sell eggs for her in-laws. This was really a thankless job.
After that, my family lived well, and maybe the two sisters-in-law said that it was their in-laws who supported her mother and daughter. Mrs. Wu was even more worried.
Qiao Mingjin didn't want them to have the opportunity to say crooked things.
The old Yue-tou was afraid that San'er would have to work hard and the eggs couldn't wait for such a long time, and Wu felt that selling them would be cheaper than in Jishang.
In the past, everyone was selling eggs at the market and no one was comparing them, so Wu wouldn't say anything. Now when she compares them with the people in the village, she naturally feels that she sells the eggs for less money than others.
Yue Xiaoman saw her embarrassed look and probably guessed the reason.
Then he said: "Sister-in-law, don't worry and sell it, no one will say anything. Third brother will buy the things our family is short of now every time he comes back. There is no need to sell the door and go to the market just to sell eggs. Not to mention the hard work.
The eggs are still not sold at high prices. My sister-in-law can give us the same money as the people in the village..."
ps: The editors plan to put it on the shelves on the 15th, but we still recommend putting it on the shelves at the beginning of next month. In this way, this month will still be a free period. I hope you will continue to support me. I will also save more manuscripts. Thank you for your support.
